In very good condition with some edge and shelf wear, bumped corners, a tiny 'shiny' spot to upper front cover, former owner's ex libris to inner boards (Senator and businessman Elijah Leonard), front hinge starting but holding well, and with foxing to the heavy paper throughout. Otherwise a nice, tight copy.
